GOOD In CALM AND GALE.
THE VOLUNTEER BEATS HER RI
Walls BY SIX MILES.

Showing Which Leaves No Doubt
AS to Her Staying Qualities in q
Light Breeze-All the Yachtsmen at
Marblehead Fire Their Guns on Her
Arrival.
MARBLEHEAD, MASS, Aug. 9-The Vol
unteer crossed the finish line at $40 o'clock,
winner of the $500 cup offered by j. Pierre
pont Morgan for first-class sloops in the 100
mile race of the New York Yacht Club
squadron from Marthas Vineyard to
Marblehead. When the Volunteer crossed
the line with scarcely wind enough to give
her headway her rivals were hull down on
the southern horizon, fully six miles astern
As the wind had been light since
yesterday afternoon when the yachts of
the squadron were beating around Cape Cod,
and even in the calm which prevailed for
hours at a time along the south shore during
the night This result shows the splendid
work of the new sloOp in light winds, while
her windward sailing yesterday in which
she outpointed every competitor, proves her
to be without a rival under such
conditions. AS the Volunteer ap-
preached the line she drifted along with
scarcely breeze enough to keep her head
way, but she finally brought up at the line,
a safe and easy winner, 2434 hours from the
time of starting. As she passed lazily in
the harbor, she was carrying her mainsail,
working and club topsails, and even with
all this canvass she seemed scarcely
to move. In she drifted however,
and at S:15 o'clock when she
dropped anchor off the Eastern Yacht Club
house she was saluted by the guns on all the
yachts in the harbor and by cheers from
the throng of people now gathered on the
shore. From the finish line to the anchor
age she was surrounded by small boats
filed with spectators.
THE PURITAN AT BOSTON.
Boston, Aug. 9.-The yacht Puritan has
arrived in the harbor Owing to the accI-
dent to her topmast she did not continue in
the race, but continued on here.

RISE OF THE RIVER.
Augusta Fearful of Repetition of
Last Weeks Experience.

AUGUSTA, Aug 0-There is apprehension
of another freshet, as there were heavy
rains on the upper Savannah yesterday. At
o'clock this afternoon the river at the
city bridge was 80 feet and II inches high,
and was rising inches per hour.
TO EQUAL LAST WEEK.
AUGUSTA, GA, April g. . p. M-The
river is now 33 feet and is rising at the rate
rate of inches an hour. 1t is coming into
the city at upper Broad and Reynold streets.
The gate on the third level of the canal has
broken and the water Is flooding upper Tel
fair, Walker and other streets near the
union depot. Sunday week ago the river
rose to 35 feet and Z inches. Tho indica-
tions are that it will be as high if not
higher, before morning.
A TWO DAYS DowNPoUR.
AUGUSTA, GA, Aug. O. II p. M-The
heavy rains of Sunday and Monday in the
upper Savannah valley caused the river to
rise rapidly yesterday. The upper portion
of the city, from the third Lowell of
rapidly flooded. The gate of the third
level near Clarlks yarn factory was broken
and the water, which finds its way back
into the river through Hawks gulley, forced
itself into the canal below Marbury,
flooding Tefair, Walk. Fenwick and
CaluOun streets. Inc Union depot is sur
rounded with water. Broad Reynolds aud
cross streets from Cumming TO the river
are rapidly flooding, and the indi-
cations are that tomorrow will witt
ness an immense expanse of water
from the high ground beyond Hamburg to
Harrisburg, and the first level of the canal
down as far as Cumming street.
The entire southern portion of the
city embracing portions of Kollock,
Cumming, Campbell, jackson, Mcintosh,
Washington Centre and South Cumming
are flooded More than three-fourths Of
the city will be flooded, and the prohabili-
ties are that travel will be interrupted and
the factories, machine shops and planning
mills stopped ON account of the high water.
The indications are that the river will be
as high, if not higher, than il
was July 81, when it marked "a feet z
inches. No accidents or damage of serious
character has been reported, and as there
were no rains to-day it is believed that the
river will reach its maximum before daylight
and then recede, leaving the people of Au-
gllsta thankful for having escaped for the
third time within ten days from the floods
that seriously threatened loss of life and
great damage to property.

In the House.

In the House to-day the special order was
the bill introduced by Mr.. Smith, of Glynn,
to regulate the capture of terrapins in this
State, prohibiting the capture of female
terrapins of less size than 80 inches, length-
wise the shell, and If caught they are TO be
thrown back. A number of rich amend
ments were proposed, and Horn, of Hall,
made a humorous speech against the bill,
which is still the talk tonight. The Chat
ham delegation was solid for the bill.
The negro members, Wilson and Camden,
opposed 1t and spoke against it. The bill
passed. Wilson gave notice of a motion TO
reconsider.

amend second 2626 of the Code, relates TO
the period for advertising certain legal
notices. IL was discussed ut some length by
Messrs. Hill, Berner, Gamble and
Simmons Mr.. Hill supported the
bill ON the ground that in counties where
there are onlls weekly newspapers the pres
ent law of publication causes in many in
stances too much delay in the sale of lands,
etc.
Mr.. Simmons said the simple question
presented was whether the newspapers
should change their days of publication to
comply with the law or whether the law
should be changed to accommodate tho
newspapers. On vote the bill was lost.

INVESTIGATING IVES.
The Issue of Preferred Stock Not as
Large as was Expected.


New York, Aug. 9.-Shortly before noon
to-day the committee appointed to investi-
gate Henry S. Ives management of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad
met to listen to any statement which Mr..
Ives might have to make There was Il
great deal of delay in getting things into
shape for business, but when things were
arranged the business was lively enough.
The first thing done was to receive
the designations of President Staynor and
Vice President Ives, and the election
of A. S. Winslow, of Cincinnati, as Presi-
dent and Christoper Meyer, of New York,
rs Vice President. The creditors appointed
a committee consisting of Irving A. Evans,
T. j. Emory and James Thompson to meet
the committee of the directors, consisting of
Julius Dexter, Chris Meyer and Mr. Har-
riSon to take further steps in the reorgani-
cation of the company.
THE PREFERRED STOCK.
The creditors committee met imme-
diately to begin an Investigation of the af-
fairs of the company. They finished the
count of the remaining certificates of pre-
ferred stock, and found that about 81 ,000,-
600 has been issued This is stated TO be
much less than was feared. 1t is stated by
the counsel for the creditors committee that
their claims will not be placed in the trus-
teeship proposed by Mr. Ives. The resignation
of both Messrs. Ives and Staynor is officially
stated to have been unconditional. The
meeting has adjourned until tomorrow
without coming to any decision. Mr. Ives
has turned over his property to MeSsrs.
Waite, Meyer and Dexter as trustees, and is
trying to arrange with his creditors to put
their claims in the same hands Nothing
will be done in this matter until morn
ing, although consideration of the proposition
has led the Farmers Loan and Trust Com
pany to withdraw 100 shares of Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton stock from auc-
ton sale tomorrow. In the exchange to-
day Mr.. Doremus, Mr.. Ives partner, bought
100 shares sold yesterday at 40 from the
BUYERS and paid 100 for it.

CLEVELAND'S FALL TRIP.
INVITATIONS STILL POURING IN
BY DOZENS.

A Clerk Giving His Entire Time To
Recording and Scheduling Them
Kansas City to be the Western-most
and Savannah the Southern-most
Point Visited.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Invitations con-
tjnue to pour in upon the President, and al
most the entire time Of one of the clerks at
the White House is occupied in scheduling
and recording them. He has been invited
to visit almost every city in the West and
South, including San Francisco, New Or
leans and Galveston. 1t would be almost
impossible for the President to accept them
all, even if he devoted the balance of the
year to that purpose. So it will be seen that
some places will have to be slighted. Among
the invitations received to-day was one
from Gov. Gray, of Indiana, urging the
President to make stop at indianapolis on
his way through that State. A telegram
was also received from Providence, r. l.,
asking the President to visit that city on
his rumored trip to Marion, Mass, where
Mrs Cleveland is visiting. This was the
only one of the invitations answered TODAY
Col Lamont sent a short reply to the effect
that the President had no intention of
visiting Massachusetts, just at present
THINKING OVER THE ROUTE.
The President is seriously considering the
best use he can make of the limited time he
has allotted himself for his Western and
Southern trip, and he will take the route
which will enable him to visit briefly the
principal representative cities of the two
sections of country. He has about made up
his mind that he will not go farther West
than Kansas City and very little, if any,
farther South than Atlanta. He does not
desire to be absent from the capital more
than twenty days, but delays and unavoid-
able circumstances may prolong his absence
five or ten days more. He will begin the
preparation Of his annual message to Con
gress upon his return to Washington, and
that and other important matters which will
then claim his personal attention will pre-
vent his extending his visit much beyond
Nov. |. IL is expected that the programme
for his trip will be prepared within the next
two weeks. None of the invitations not al
ready acted upon will be answered until
that is arranged
CHARLESTON'S INVITATION.

hibition war at Alliance, O. This was one
of the towns to vote for local option under
the Dow law The saloons were voted out
several months ago and the energy of the
populace has been inadequate to the enforce
ment of the ordinance Numerous heavy
fines and Jail sentences have been imposed
upon the saloonkeepers, but they con-
tinued to violate the ordinance
Last week a temperance demonstration was
held and the liquor dealers attempted to
counteract its effect by giving away beer
and whisky in the streets to all who asked
for it, Several minors were among the
number who drank, and to-day six of the
salotn-keepers who gave the liquor away
were arrested. Upon being released four of
them went 70 the Fort Weyno depot and,
mistaking stranger whom they saw there
for one of the detectives who assisted in the
prosecution, they set upon and beat him un-
mercifully. They were all arrested.
